Touro University California alongside executives from Sutter Solano Medical Center
unveiled and officially launched a first-of-its-kind mobile diabetes education center
at a press conference on the Touro campus early morning Monday, March 13.

Currently more than 29 million Americans have diabetes with 90 percent of those suffering
from Type 2. One-third of people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes suffer complications
by the time they are diagnosed. In California, 55 percent of the population is currently
diagnosed as having pre-diabetes or diabetes. The result is a state and a nation desperate
for prevention and resolution. Early detection allows those at risk to take the necessary
steps to lessen the impact of the disease and potentially prevent it from developing.
